The training project has fully introduced the NLN's instructor team and classic courses, which will help to cultivate excellent simulation instructors and deepen the understanding of the application of simulation teaching in nursing education in China. Trainees of the project will be awarded instructor certificates from NLN at each stage, and are expected to greatly promote the development and innovation of simulation teaching in their own institutions.
